turtle graphics

Next code club is on Saturday 2nd February 2019 at Paignton Library. More Scratch and Python and hopefully a new helper will be dropping in to see what we are doing. More basic info on our Code Club page. Scratch Website Trinket Website

I have been creating some activities for Scratch 3. These are hosted on Github. I have links on my wiki section. Github + stackedit + markdown = easy on-line publishing and resource creation 🙂 I have also uploaded to ScratchEd.

First code club session on the 15th September went well. I am now looking forward to the next session. I have printed out all the activities for Scratch : Module 1, so can add these to the resources for code club. I should probably get a Trinket account ( https://trinket.io/ ) as this is used…

Just a quick update. I will hopefully running the Paignton Code Club from 15th September 2018. I am NOT taking over on a permanent basis, but want to keep the club running until the group leader is able to take over and carry on. I can then go back to just helping out…

What happens if you draw turtle graphics with the help of the python random module? so rather than being explicit in how far it goes forward or how much of an angle the turtle turns while drawing. The result is something like this when you add a degee of randomness to the program.

Ok, further developments, I run the risk of overkill here but all this stuff is a kind of proof of concept, and is pretty simple to do once you know how to do things. I now have a file menu that produces the same output…

Today I have been working on tidying up my program a little. Mainly the GUI, so thanks to google and some searching my program now looks a little more friendly (well I think so anyway) So changed the way the button locations are defined (grid). Also set up spacing between the buttons. Used…

Yet more GUI programming, I have added more turtle code to the main program, including the ability to save resulting graphics, fixed a few bugs ( I still had the colour change code in there) and tidied a few things up. Again, any questions please tweet @zleap14 or e-mail me, I am at the…
